We’re well over a decade into the era of cloud computing, and during that time we have seen one cloud computing trend after another.

Indeed, the nature of the cloud has changed substantially in the last 10 years, and cloud-based services are strength strategies for the environment of the company.

Here’s a rundown of the cloud computing trends that you might to know.

PAAS – IAAS – SAAS
PAAS (Platform As A Service), played an important role in sparking the cloud computing revolution in the middle 2000s. Once companies made that switch, the adoption of other types of cloud services like IAAS and SAAS will be followed.

Serverless
Serverless functions generated a lot of buzz when they became part of mainstream cloud computing platforms that starting with the debut in 2014 of AWS Lambda.

Many cloud based workloads would shift to a serverless deployment model. Which will saves money and adds flexibility because you only have to pay for serverless functions when they are actually running.

OpenStack
OpenStack is the open source framework that promised to make it free and easy for any company to build its own private cloud, and thereby escape the clutches of public clouds like AWS and Azure, or proprietary DIY (Do it Yourself) cloud platforms like VMware.

OpenStack is still alive and well, and it continues to evolve with interesting new features, like StarlingX.

Multicloud
About around 2017, multicloud was all the rage. It was the key to achieving greater flexibility, reliability and cost-efficiency.

 

As we see, that was the best cloud computing trend that have already their best days. In these day, we will be in a good condition that more improvement of that cloud computing technology will be. Some of the oldest types of cloud computing trends and services still remain immensely important today. IAAS is not going away anytime soon. Neither is SAAS.
